Proactive Technologies, Inc.® provides the most advanced and comprehensive automated human resource development/management system in the world. Since our company was founded 1986, our PROTECH©®  system of managed human resource development™ helps employers to increase levels of:

  • worker capacity,
  • work quality and quantity,
  • worker productivity,
  • worker morale and self-development, and
  • compliance (ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap quality programs and OSHA requirements)

while lowering internal training costs and creating a growth-inspired work environment.

The PROTECH approach continues to meet employers’ needs in a world of emerging technology and innovation, global competitiveness, the constraints placed on the employer to comply with regulatory mandates and quality programs such as LEAN, ISO, AS, IATF and Nadcap certification. Proactive Technologies’ consulting services, coupled with the PROTECH©® software system , will answer your company’s need for cost-effective, clearly defined and accurately managed workforce development solutions that ensure you are hiring the labor you need and that workers continue to master the entire job classification for which they were selected…through any type of change.

Proactive Technologies provides a turnkey package designed to your business strategy. Whether Proactive Technologies sets up and manages the worker development system for your organization, trains your staff to setup and manage the system, or manages a transition strategy once the system is setup and functioning to specifications, every effort is made to make any project a success.

The PROTECH©® system of managed human resource development™:

  • captures tribal, task-based expertise before retirees leave, to be used to quickly develop more experts;
  • is designed specifically for your jobs, your company and culture;
  • incorporates your process documents, safety standards, quality and engineering specifications into one coherent approach to learning and mastering work and is kept in sync when changes occur;
  • builds an infrastructure around your informal, immeasurable, and undocumented OJT approach you may be currently struggling with, providing the “informal OJT trainers” with the focus and support needed to accelerate and document the structured OJT training experience;
  • cuts your firm’s internal worker development and opportunity costs;
  • increases worker capacity, work quality and compliance (e.g. engineering and quality standards, ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap, as well as OSHA);
  • gives employees a reason to stay, receive a credential and remain positively engaged.

In most cases, an employer already has the pieces to set-up a process-based training infrastructure – work process sheets, safety sheets, quality plans and (most importantly) the expertise in the heads of the current experts. For tasks that aren’t written down, PTI will develop them from observation. This approach brings it all together to provide a credible, systematic and documented worker development approach.

Why struggle to find “skilled-enough” workers, when you can develop each worker – new and incumbent – to your specifications far cheaper than the costs associated with accepting the gap?

    The Crash of 2008, the Covid-19 Pandemic and mergers/acquisitions have caused disruptions to business strategies and training project support. During these disruptions, several Proactive Technologies projects were set-up for employers and ready to implement, or implementation started but paused temporarily, some indefinitely, as internal project knowledge and advocacy dissipated. Employee and management contacts were either laid-off, reassigned or retired. The significant value of what was established remains and Proactive Technologies saved each company’s data set up that point. Here is a chance to discover what was established, where we left off and what it would take to restart the program. The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; the many benefits from the PROTECH©® system of managed human resource development™ in more than just the training area; examples of projects with manufacturing and manufacturing support companies (aerospace, Tier-1 and 2 automobile suppliers, chemical companies, facilities maintenance companies, rubber/polymer manufacturers); compliance support provided by the system for ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap quality programs as well as OSHA safety requirements; and how many structured on-the-job training programs were, or can be, unregistered apprenticeships or registered as apprenticeships.

    PTI1007 - Structured On-the-Job Training Supports ISO/AS/IATF Process Training Requirement Compliance

    (Mountain Time) The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; how any employer can benefit from the PROTECH©® system of managed human resource development™ in more that just the training area; building related technical instruction/structured on-the-job training programs and supporting them for employers across all industries. ISO/AS/IATF, Nadcap and similar quality programs have a requirement that: standardize work processes guide quality, auditable task performance; training matches the process; training is documented for each worker; and a system is in place to ensure all are up to date and in sync. Program supports ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap compliance requirements for “knowledge(expertise)” capture. In addition to hiring, structured on-the-job training and performance evaluation instruments, PROTECH produces reports such as Technical Document (best practice for each task), Qualification/ Certification Checklists and more. One-revision updates all materials! Efforts like Lean, Kaisen, continuous improvement strategies all can render a lesser model obsolete and non-compliant in a few months. This model provides the lacking support needed to employers who want to easily and cost-effectively establish and maintain compliance. Approx. 45 minutes

    (Mountain Time) The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; how any employer can benefit from the PROTECH©® system of managed human resource development in more that just the training area; building related technical instruction/structured on-the-job training programs and supporting them for employers across all industries. This approach uses the “accelerated transfer of expertise system™” to quickly and completely train each incumbent worker to full job mastery. When change settles and growth returns, new-hires can be quickly developed to full job mastery to support expansion and cross-training of each worker conducted and controlled. Program supports ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap compliance requirements for “knowledge(expertise)” capture, and process-based training and record keeping. Approx. 45 minutes

    (Mountain Time) The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; how any employer can benefit from the PROTECH©® system of managed human resource development™ in more that just the training area; building related technical instruction/structured on-the-job training partnerships for employers across all industries one-by-one. How this can become a cost-effective, cost-efficient and highly credible workforce development strategy – easy scale up by just plugging each new employer into the system. When partnering with economic development agencies, and public and private career and technical colleges and universities for the related technical instruction, this provides the most productive use of available grant funds and gives employers-employees/trainees and the project partners the biggest win for all. This model provides the support sorely needed by employers who want to partner in the development of the workforce but too often feel the efforts will not improve the workforce they need. Approx. 45 minutes

    (Mountain Time) The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; the many benefits the employer can realize from the PROTECH©® system of managed human resource development™ in more than just the training area; examples of projects across all industries, including manufacturing and manufacturing support companies. Program supports ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap compliance requirements for “knowledge(expertise)” capture, and process-based training and record keeping. When combined with related technical instruction, this approach has been easily registered as an apprenticeship-focusing the structured on-the-job training on exactly what are the required tasks of the job. Registered or not, this approach is the most effective way to train workers to full capacity in the shortest amount of time –cutting internal costs of training while increasing worker capacity, productivity, work quality and quantity, and compliance.  Approx 45 minutes.
